Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel wants Formula 1 to dramatically simplify the rules. Seb wants F1 rules on ‘two A4 pages’.

Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel admitted that he would like Formula 1 to dramatically simplify the rules, which at the same time would represent a way to bring back the fan interest for a sport that has seen a dramatic drop in audience and attendances

The complexity of the current rules is a hot topic at present, in part because Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel lost his win in Canada after an incident with Lewis Hamilton: “If the rules were on two A4 pages, there would be a lot more room for manoeuvre,” the German told Servus TV.

Sebastian Vettel’s complaints about the rules have even invigorated rumours the newly 32-year-old quadruple world champion could quit the sport. He added: “Somehow, Formula 1 needs to think and sort itself out. What does it want to achieve? Does it want this complexity? Does it want to keep the technology at a standard that is so far away, so intangible, so advanced? Or is it committed to entertainment, to sport?” – the four-time Formula One world champion added.

He said that if F1 continues on the current path, it is conceivable that eventually there will not even be the need for drivers: If you look at mobility and where it’s going, the driver will eventually be replaced in the next few decades,” said Sebastian Vettel – “But I don’t think that has a lot of entertainment value.” – the German driver concluded.
